Ultimate Duo: VirtueRF & Cartessa Helix CoolPeel®

Why Combine These Treatments?

The Ultimate Duo pairs RF microneedling with CoolPeel® CO₂ resurfacing in a single, comprehensive session, delivering the benefits of deep collagen stimulation and targeted surface renewal simultaneously.

RF microneedling works beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving laxity, fine lines, and scarring. CoolPeel® precisely resurfaces the outermost layer of skin, refining texture, reducing sun damage, and enhancing overall radiance.

Together, these treatments provide:

• Enhanced collagen remodeling at multiple depths
• Smoother texture and softened fine lines
• Improvement in acne scars and uneven pigmentation
• A brighter, healthier-looking glow
• Minimal downtime compared to more aggressive resurfacing procedures

This approach allows patients to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation in a single visit.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Your experience begins with a personalized skincare consultation to review your goals and design a customized treatment plan for lasting results.

The Ultimate Duo appointment typically lasts about three hours, with the first hour dedicated to numbing and skin preparation to ensure comfort.

While many patients see noticeable improvement after one session, those treating deeper wrinkles, significant laxity, or more advanced scarring may benefit from a series of treatments to achieve optimal results.

When Will I See Results?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or light peeling as your skin heals. Once these effects subside, you’ll begin to notice visible improvements in tone and texture.

Early results are apparent within the first week, with continued improvement over the following 3 to 6 months as collagen production increases and regenerates the skin. A series of treatments may be recommended for maximum refinement of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.

At Charleston Plastic Surgery, we tailor every laser treatment plan to your skin type, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals, ensuring natural, beautiful, and long-lasting results.
